Two other class mates have this to say about global competition. The intensification of international competition brings pressure to perform and fear of failure. In the relatively sheltered era of the 1960s, 7 percent of the U.S. economy was exposed to international competition. That number grew to 70 percent during the 1980s, and it continues to climb higher with every passing year.
